Those particles seem to be the magic ingredient. After using this, my blemishes have noticeably reduced!
ConsI can't really think of any downsides. It's just a serum I'm using happily. I'd recommend it to those with acne-prone skin.

When applying, the green beads burst, spreading a lovely moisturizing sensation! It absorbs exceptionally well. My acne was quite severe, but it seems to have improved significantly since I started using this product! I believe I'll see even better results with continued use.
ConsThere wasn't really anything disappointing about it... It was just really great overall.

I was worried it might irritate my skin, but it melts in seamlessly without any discomfort and absorbs quickly. Some people mention a tingling sensation, but in my experience, it only stings if I apply it after picking at acne or popping whiteheads (which would sting with any product). The texture is like a runny gel that doesn't sit on top of the skin but gets absorbed well. As I'm currently pregnant and can't use just any skincare product, I'm extremely satisfied with this one. It has gentle ingredients and is fragrance-free. Effectiveness: During early pregnancy, when my hormones were going crazy, I had pustular acne on my chin and between my eyebrows, and closed comedones on my forehead. Within a week of using this, everything calmed down significantly. I thought it would work better on closed comedones, but surprisingly, it was more effective on the hard, painful pimples that couldn't be popped. They improved quickly, which amazed me. I definitely plan to keep using this product. Recommendation: Highly recommended! Even if you're unsure what to use, this is a great option. I recommend it for teenagers with persistent blemishes and pregnant women too. It feels like an essential item to have in your skincare routine.
ConsThere wasn't anything particularly bad! If I had to pick something, it would be that the regular price is a bit high, so you should aim to buy it during sales.
TipYou can layer it 2-3 times without causing your makeup to pill. When my skin is super sensitive, instead of applying multiple products, I just use this serum followed by a thin layer of moisturizer. It helps calm my skin quickly.

Dermatologist-confirmed blemish-prone skin with excess sebum distribution (especially inflammatory breakouts before periods) and slight deep dryness. - Texture: Super hydrating formula! It's a very thin, runny consistency like watery mucus! Easy to apply and absorbs quickly. Helps makeup go on smoothly without pilling when applied before cosmetics. It contains tiny green beads or droplets that come out as-is, but they disappear completely when you massage it in! - Packaging: The long dropper is amazing! Seems like you can easily get every last drop, even when there's just a bit left. Now that's attention to detail! - Effects: While it's not an instant calming solution, after using it morning and night for about a week, my inflammatory acne reduced dramatically to barely noticeable spots (as shown in the photo). However, it couldn't prevent new blemishes from popping up. It's a great, lightweight serum that's perfect for when my skin gets sensitive and prone to inflammatory breakouts as my period approaches.
ConsNothing negative to say! It's a generous size with plenty of hydration. I'm very satisfied with this serum - it should be great even for use in summer!
TipThose with dry skin might need to balance their oil and moisture levels with additional products. Given its lightweight formula and texture, using this alone might leave your skin feeling dry!

First, looking at the serum, it contains small green particles that quickly spread and absorb when gently massaged. I thought these green particles might be a bit irritating, but they weren't at all. They dissolved rapidly without causing any irritation. This product actually focuses on blemish care and soothing. While I don't have acne-prone skin, so I can't speak to that specifically, I can say that even when my skin was sensitive, it didn't sting at all. In fact, it felt quite soothing. Another advantage of this product is its hydration! Before trying it, I saw reviews saying it lacked moisture, so I didn't expect much. However, I was surprised by how moisturizing it actually was. The hydration was better than I anticipated, making it suitable even for my dry skin. The moisture level feels sufficient for use from now until midsummer.
ConsWhile there aren't many downsides, if I had to mention one, it would be that the cooling effect mentioned in the product description wasn't as noticeable as I expected.
TipSince I found this product to be as hydrating as the Bifida serum, those who use the Bifida serum and are concerned about blemishes might find this a good alternative to try!

I was a bit worried since other capsule products I've tried sometimes didn't burst well or left residue, but with this one, the capsules burst quickly and absorb naturally as you apply it to your skin. ✔ Application It spreads smoothly when applied to the face and absorbs quite quickly. You can feel the individual capsules when touching them, but once spread, they disappear without a trace. I liked how it finishes without any stickiness while feeling deeply hydrating. ✔ Color and Scent The color is a transparent serum with a slight green tint. It's not completely unscented, but has a subtle, natural herbal scent. The fragrance isn't strong and doesn't feel artificial, so even those sensitive to scents should be able to use it without issue. ✔ Hydration I was quite satisfied with its hydrating power. Many blemish-focused products I've tried before were either too drying, perhaps because they're meant for oily skin or due to their ingredients. I have combination dehydrated skin, so I need to ensure hydration too. While it might be slightly lacking for solo use in very dry weather, it leaves the skin feeling non-sticky on the surface while deeply hydrated underneath. ✔ Effectiveness The biggest advantage of this product is definitely its soothing effect. I occasionally get pimples on my chin or cheeks, and after applying this serum, I can visibly see the redness and blemishes calming down. Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing even better results in summer. In dry seasons, I only get occasional breakouts, but in summer, with increased sebum production and facial heat, I get more whiteheads and frequent larger blemishes. This product quickly cools down skin heat and soothes, so I think it'll be even more effective then.
ConsWhile I didn't experience any downsides while using it, the price per volume is a bit on the higher side, so it might be a bit tricky for those looking for budget-friendly options.

It's like the perfect match for its vibrant green exterior. This product is ideal for summer use! Plus, there's a fun aspect to crushing the green beads as you apply it. They break easily without much pressure, so the application process wasn't irritating at all.
ConsI noticed it stung a bit when I used it on days my skin wasn't in great condition. It seems to be a product that can cause some irritation. I wouldn't recommend it for those with super sensitive skin.
TipDuring seasonal changes like now, our skin tends to get very dry and the skin barrier can weaken easily. I recommend using the Abib serum to boost hydration, and then following up with a slightly rich cream or emulsion to help lock in that moisture.

ConsThere wasn't anything particularly disappointing, but it was better for soothing and sebum control rather than exfoliation

The capsules burst without any irritation. No effort required at all. They break open with just the slightest touch. It's the gentlest capsule serum I've ever used! ✓ Incredibly hydrating! My skin was getting really dry from the chlorine at the pool, but after using the Abib serum, the deep dryness has significantly reduced! It's a perfect daily ampoule for those who exercise regularly. Highly recommended for those with dehydrated skin. ✓ Generous amount The quantity seems like it will last quite a while! After using it twice daily for two weeks, 3 pumps each time, I still have about 55-60% left! Truly a generous amount. ✓ Clean application The absorbs well, so you can cover your entire face with just a small amount. The balance between flow and absorption is excellent, allowing for a clean application without the product running down your arms. ✓ Doesn't pill under makeup, which is great. ✓ While the calming effect was minimal, it did an excellent job preventing hormone-induced blemishes from developing into inflamed pustules.
Cons✓ Didn't notice much of a calming effect. ✓ As it's primarily a soothing product, it doesn't have much effect on oil control or pores. ✓ Might feel too light for those with very dry skin.

Recently, it's become a bit drier. @Texture Absorbs without stickiness, typical ampoule texture. Contains tiny essence beads that don't burst when rubbed, but seem to melt with skin heat. After applying, the green beads disappear over time. You can feel the beads slightly when rubbing immediately, but they dissolve with skin heat after just two rubs. That was nice. @Hydration Provides good hydration without stickiness. Might be a bit dry for those with very dry skin now, but the lightweight formula with high moisture content keeps the face feeling fresh even as it gets warmer. Absorbs well without pilling even after 2-3 layers, so I apply an extra layer if it feels a bit dry. @Sebum control Fragrance-free, lightweight yet hydrating. It fills the skin with moisture without feeling heavy, leaving the surface feeling fresh. Can't tell much about sebum control now as it's not hot and sebum production is low, but it seems like it would definitely control oil in summer. I think its true value will show when it gets warmer.
Cons@Soothing I tried it after using an air shot, but didn't see any notable soothing effects. Instead, it felt slightly warm. I wondered if the warmth was normal due to a small wound, as I hadn't experienced this with other ampoules. I continued using it regularly, and while the warm feeling subsided, I didn't feel it was particularly soothing on its own. @Blemish care Hmm... I used it daily for over two weeks after receiving it, but I'm not sure if it lightened any blemishes. I had some small pigmentation on my cheeks, but it seems to have faded just with time. I didn't feel any noticeable improvement.
